The A- list actress who used to be an A- list singer didn’t actually pay money to get her boyfriend in a magazine issue, but did make sure her publicist got him in.
She thinks it will change people’s minds about him.
It won’t.

Benny Blanco
Update: John Krasinski has been named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2024
People magazine’s decision to feature Benny Blanco in its Sexiest Man Alive issue has sparked mixed reactions online. In a lighthearted interview, the Grammy-nominated producer shared his “rules for being a sexy gentleman,” offering tips like learning to cook, dressing with confidence, and avoiding ghosting. However, the internet wasn’t sold on his “sexy” status, with many users taking to social media to roast the feature.
Adding fuel to the fire was Blanco’s playful photo shoot, which included an image of him lying suggestively across a dining table with his signature Taco Bell-inspired dish. Some mistook this as an announcement that Blanco had been named Sexiest Man Alive, leading to more confusion and snarky commentary. One user quipped, “Was literally every other man unavailable?” while another asked, “Did they throw a dart blindfolded to pick?”
Selena Gomez, however, had nothing but praise for her boyfriend. Sharing a behind-the-scenes shot from the article, she wrote, “Not only do you love me unconditionally, you always get me my Taco Bell Mexican pizza.” She also added a romantic quote to emphasize her support for him.
